A characteristic optical variability timescale in astrophysical accretion disks
Colin J. Burke, Yue Shen, Omer Blaes +8
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei produce continuum radiation at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. Physical processes in the accretion fl…
The Cosmic Ray Staircase: the Outcome of the Cosmic Ray Acoustic Instability
Tsun Hin Navin Tsung, S. Peng Oh, Yan-Fei Jiang
Recently, cosmic rays (CRs) have emerged as a leading candidate for driving galactic winds. Small-scale processes can dramatically affect global wind properties. We run two-moment…
Inferring Black Hole Properties from Astronomical Multivariate Time Series with Bayesian Attentive Neural Processes
Ji Won Park, Ashley Villar, Yin Li +5
Among the most extreme objects in the Universe, active galactic nuclei (AGN) are luminous centers of galaxies where a black hole feeds on surrounding matter. The variability patter…
The Physics of Galactic Winds Driven by Cosmic Rays II: Isothermal Streaming Solutions
Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang, Todd A. Thompson
We use analytic calculations and time-dependent spherically-symmetric simulations to study the properties of isothermal galactic winds driven by cosmic-rays (CRs) streaming at the…
Global 3D Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Proto-Jupiter's Convective Envelope
Zhaohuan Zhu, Yan-Fei Jiang, Hans Baehr +3
The core accretion model of giant planet formation has been challenged by the discovery of recycling flows between the planetary envelope and the disc that can slow or stall envelo…
The Physics of Galactic Winds Driven by Cosmic Rays I: Diffusion
Eliot Quataert, Todd A. Thompson, Yan-Fei Jiang
The physics of Cosmic ray (CR) transport remains a key uncertainty in assessing whether CRs can produce galaxy-scale outflows consistent with observations. In this paper, we elucid…
